Unexpected Utterance from the Nerdling

My 4 year old son received a light saber for Christmas.  It is probably his favorite toy at the moment.  Ever since he got it he has wanted to get me one as well.  His plan was to get me one for my birthday but RSV intervened  and there was no birthday.  Today at the store he spotted a light saber, and it was about six bucks so we bought it.

At home my daughter claimed it and they had impressively mild sword fight in the driveway.  Once inside the house my son placed the butt of his light saber on the floor and asked his sister to put her’s next to it.  Once she did he exclaimed, “See!  My light saber is longer!”

One day we’ll rent Space Balls and mention this incident to him, but I hope it is at least a decade before his statement would strike him as funny.
